I know I have asked this before but I cant remember what I had for dinner let alone this...
I am shooting a Marlin 1895 22'' barrel with 300hr Hornady HP and IMR 4198. I like the accuracy of 4198 but it needs higher charges for accuracy and kicks the snot out of me. Is it possible there is another powder that will get me 1900fps with less recoil? I know some will say don't fire the bullet that fast but I loaded it to 1500-1600 and it didn't expand on deer.
